It has begun

[WalnutHill]

You guys and gals on here are gonna get me killed. My wife doesn't think any of this is exciting and I'm so excited to try this chicken thing I'm on the very edge of exploding loll

At the very first hatch, chick love will begin, and it's an addiction after that.

When you planning on candling, Bert?

My bad temptation is staggering a hatch! I have 7 that will be all!!! 3 LO, one BA, 1coocoo maran, one blue isbar, and an olive egger....in my crock pot.




My current goofball hatch I have been telling people about is not fully true...
I said they were due the 16, and 20th, but actually I think 3 are due the 13th, 2 the 14th, 2 the 16th, and the rest the 20th, but one more the 21st... grr my badness.

Great start to your thread. Very well written and a lot of familiar faces. Many with lots of knowledge!!!!

A second incubator to use as a hatcher would solve that problem

son turning the eggs yesterday afternoon.

Thats a great looking batch of eggs you've got there!

Howfunky- I have dozens of home made incubators, I just wanted to only fire up the one....I do have a husband that also lives here, it is easier fire'n up one than having to explain.

 

[howfunkyisurchicken]

Lol!

I have a husband that lives here too, and no need to explain- he already knows what's about to happen when I get them out J/k, he doesn't even care (and loves the little babies, I'm a lucky girl).

Now, if I had dozens of homemade 'bators, I'd probably be in trouble

 

[gimmie birdies]

Someone keeps dropping off styro coolers at the dumpster, do I just walk away????

 

[gimmie birdies]

The only one I don't know about is the above incubator. All have worked wonderfully, but I like to experiment making them.
